Move ptmx into pty(4).
Now that pty(4) is a loadable kernel module, I'd better move /dev/ptmx in there as well. This means that pty(4) now provides almost all pseudo-terminal compatibility code. This means it's very easy to test whether applications use the proper library interfaces when allocating pseudo-terminals (namely posix_openpt and openpty).
